Straight away I like the color schemes and the setup of the site. Comfortable light and dark blues paved the way to some of the best writing information I have found on the web to date. As I began to read the posts, I was more than impressed with the caliber of the users that frequented the forums. Kind, generous folks, ready to help each other out at every twist and turn. Writers with like interests posting links to cool stuff, answering any and all questions, alerting others to available paying writing gigs, and sharing their own work with everyone on the forum. Whether you are into poetry, short stories, writing articles or just simply want to hone your general writing skills, there is something for you on the Accentuate Writers Forum! In a nutshell, I'd found a personal paradise that heightened my senses and made me smile every day. I once again had found hope for the thing I love most in the world: writing.
I took some time to read quite a few posts, then signed up and made my own account so that I was able to post and introduce myself. I was immediately met with responses from several very nice people, and I was honestly made to feel at home. There is so much support and talent on this forum that it boggles the mind and stirs the emotions. I highly recommend this site to anyone who likes to write in the slightest.
The users there write everything from journalistic type news articles to full-fledged fiction novels, and aren't afraid to help you out if you find yourself in a pinch. The advice I've received on this forum is top-notch, and the wealth of information contained within its pages is absolutely priceless. Michelle L. Devon, a superb writer herself, had a vision when this site was incepted. She wanted to create a community of good people who could band together and help each other navigate the exciting world of writing; from simple grammar and English advice all the way to editing and publishing, this woman can help you get where you are going. All you have to do is want it.
Please visit http://www.accentuateservices.com/ and read about the site a bit, and then on the left you'll see a variety of choices to navigate. I recommend checking out the Writer's Forum at http://www.accentuateservices.com/xmb/ and reading all the posts you can get your eyes on. Then create a personalized account, update your profile and post up in the "Introduce Yourself!" thread with your information and writing background. New members are wholly welcomed there, and I promise you there is not a closer-knit community of writers than the one you'll find on the Accentuate Writers Forum. Try it today, it's FREE!

Yes this forum is the best! I visit it every day and post in it more than any other one now. I have learned so many things from Accentuate. Michy and the rest of the members are awesome! :)
Thanks for all your support, you writers are the best!
Absolutely correct Derek! Accentuate is where I got all the feedback and edits on my UC4C entry that made it as successful as it was. The people there are the best, and Michy is the inspiration for it all.
